- No talk, just forging a knife. JFAK 2.
1/4"" 1084 steel is forged into a small, full tang bowie. The finished knife will be at the beginning of the next JFAK video. I'm still working on forging plunge lines. Progress is slowed as elbow tendonitis has caught up with me at the age of 49. I can only fully hand about forge about one knife every 2 weeks at the moment.
JFAK 1 being forged: • Just Forging A Knife 1...
I try to make a video every 1-2 months. You can donate to greenbeetlegear@yahoo on PayPal to support the channel.

It's always fun and interesting watching your videos. But I miss your beautiful voice. The voice-over is a big part for me. But keep on doing your thing. I will always be watching them.
I come to Green Beetle for knives and humor. Like I go to Shurap for knives and tea and spiced up billets.
Beautiful work - simple, yet elegant...
Really amazing work, Steve! Beautiful looking knife!!! 😃
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Nice to see i am not the only one to use a lot of Hammers.
You can get a nice bird's beak handle by forging a shoulder at the handle and then drawing it out and down, keeping the stock wide at the handle. That was fun to watch.
Thank you
Lovely. Using your hammer and Anvil as much as possible to get the exact shape that you want is enjoyable and educational. You sure do use a lot of different hammers, nothing wrong with that. Thanks for the videos.
I've been admiring your measured blows setting the bevels and plunge lines, and now you say you have tendonitis! Sorry it's slowing you down, but I've started slowing down and trying to get the most out of each blow in part because I think you've shown it's a good idea. Thanks!
Nice work, always good to watch.
Yes, lots of different hammers here. My favorite square faced cross pean is missing. I usually use it and a dog head hammer for knife forging with an occasional rounding hammer. Until my favorite hammer is replaced, nothing feels right.
My favorite is a cross pein made by old hickory forge. Just feels right in my hand
A very handsome blade!! I am really looking forward to the collaboration videos!
Thanks, Will!
Welcome back
That's some awesome forging right there!
Thanks 👍
A really interesting look, liking the aesthetic! Keep up the great work!
That Jfak knife is too beautifull to bé real
The bog oak handle on the last knife turned out really good, a very elegant design so looking forward to your little Bowie. We'll call him 'Dave'
Sorry to hear you're battling physically, sort of the curse of knife making in that by the time you git gud, the body begins to get beat up and at 50... yeah, I get it!
Yup!
Pure delight!

Loving JFAK. Also interesting to see what the different hammers get used for, I work in auto body, so I'm a bit of a hammer connoisseur myself. Speaking of which, how come we haven't seen as much power hammer as we had in the past?
definitely appreciate your work- been following for a few years- the narration videos are awesome for thought process- but just like FAK1 this is an awesome process series. Nice to see the tip development, the choil/ricasso division in process and the edge bevel in one model at one time- Bravo and sorry Im late to the party with these videos- Hit FAK3 first and had to watch the whole series. Would love to know if you would consider this series with drawknives and tools as well- Bravo again Beetle- keep swinging and stay safe!
🙏
Beautiful knife! I miss the commentary though
Fantastic forging Green I love how at 3 13 in the video you reach over and fix something with your hammer LOL had me Rollin... Cheer, Martin
the hammer 'fixes' everything :)
Looking great so far!! Even though we already seen the finished product lol
Enjoyed your video and I gave it a Thumbs Up
Fished knife is in the next video which isn’t out yet.
@@GreenBeetle My bad I thought it was the one you showed it at the start of the video
Tendonitis? try some purple power c-60 and collagen protein powder.🖖😺
nice work!
Thanks!
I had just as much fun without the commentary and jokes... the tang in the vice hammer down made me lol... dkw just did. Good video Steve!
tendonitis, ouch. i have mate with that, and it's not fun. take it easy on yourself, Steve.
Ty
If you do another one of these, try the stillwatersforge style handle pls.
Favourite is still the witty commentary and corny joke!
Looking forward to the next JFAK. Is the tendonitis in your elbow aka "tennis elbow"?
yes, it is tennis elbow.
GB, just wanted to give you a heads up. I'm a subscriber that has your notifications enabled. I got zero notification that you posted this. YT tomfoolery perhaps?
Prolly…
You say your progress on forging plunge lines is slow, but it still beats the brakes off my work.
Also: You use quite a variety of hammers in your work. Some are pretty... oddball. I don't suppose you'd consider walking us through what you have, what you like/dislike and what you prefer to use each for?
Essential Craftsman cited in a recent video there was a smithing saying "A change is as good as a rest" referring to hammers. Is it something like that for you? Or do you just like the variety?
The square faced 3lb hammer w cross pean I used to use for profile, plunges and drawing out is missing. It used to be that hammer plus dog head hammer for bevels but now it’s vanished and I’m clamoring w 4 or 5 different hammers to get things done. A 4lb hammer for pointing the bar stock, flat side of a 3lb rounding hammer profiling/shaping, lightweight square for plunge and heel, dog head for bevel and spreading, cross pean side of lightweight square for handle belly plus rounding for handle belly. All that since I can’t find my good hammer 😞.
I feel your pain of missing "the good hammer." My favorite forging hammer has been missing for a couple of months. Being a fairly green, hobbyist smith, It's like starting all over again re-learning how to do everything.
That's good forge work there. Sorry to hear of the tendonitis. Abusing our bodies for the love of our craft right? Rub some dirt on it and get back into the game I say.
dirt and windex yep
On a serious note. WD-40. Drink it it’ll cure everything
What is a glove box bowie? I don't remember ever hearing that before?
neither did i, but its a bowie that can be stored in a car glove box or glove compartment, i suppose
I don't know what to call it. I never liked 'gentleman's bowie' or 'pocket bowie' and it's a full tang instead of hidden so I made up a name.
It is a cool name and I liked Kassio G's logic. I was just curious of the history, but I guess it's history in the making. I love the size of it. I'd EDC that btch lol
You should try and get your hands on a Tumblr rolling knife sharpener for a review! I see it all over my social media, but the reviews are all biased
I’ve thought about that, I see some potential problems but they look fun. I just don’t want to pay the money for one. Main unit plus $189 for extra grit…
Are you a Master Bladesmith?
no i'm a long ways off from that. maybe someday.
How do I know you're not just a robot if you don't say anything??
I swear to earth god I’m a people like you and your bro-hams. Jeebus, maybe it is YOU who came from outer space in a tiny metal egg built by future cyborg Belon Gates-Musk to inhabit a earth form until YOUR shiny and glorious machine people take over.
These are nice, but I prefer the videos with commentary, mistakes and corny jokes. Just stay away from talking paper towels, that is a good way to lose subscribers.
Don't be gay
Yes, how do I figure out what you are doing and why, without the witty commentary?
Or…….. Leah it alone the videos are fine. Go watch wistleindiesel if you just wanna complain
